191: The Top 5 Mistakes Contractors Are Making Today with Todd Dawalt


Listen Later

My guest for today is Todd Dawalt and he has an awesome podcast called The Construction Leading Edge. It's for business owners and contractors who would like to grow and do away with any disorder in their business. On the show today I have a really great conversation with Todd about ways to improve your business. And Todd has some great giveaways too, like a video series with a ton of really simple information that you can use to better your business. So be sure to listen in all the way to the end of the show!

Did you know that feedback is the breakfast of champions? It really is important that you give it to your people regularly, because as business leaders, we know that this is how you grow your company and your people. So we're also talking feedback today because we have to tell our people how things are, what can be improved on, and what we like, or don't like about what they're doing. Listen in to find out more.
